One of the biggest questions that comes up for clients when preparing for their session is “what do I wear?” As the photographer, it’s good service to help them with that! But that doesn’t mean you have to become a full-on stylist, stock a client closet, or put them in a cookie cutter formula of “what looks good.”
Of course, full styling is an option that serves some photographers and clients very well! It’s all about your goals and the type of images you’re marketing.

It’s totally possible to help your clients decide what to wear without a client closet! I’m coming in with 6 tips to help your clients decide what to wear without *TELLING* them what to wear. This episode is quick and actionable to encourage you that providing great customer experience can look a lot of different ways (and so can your clients!).
